In 2002, Hydro decided to participate in the expansion of the plant, which would make Alouette the largest aluminium plant in North America and among the world’s lowest operating-cost primary aluminium plants. The expansion project was completed in 2005.

Our 50% joint venture with Orkla, Sapa, has operations in Canada. Sapa is the world leader in aluminium solutions within extrusions, building systems, and precision tubing.
